[video] backdated to 3rd December!

[skilful]

[ The feed opens up to one girl recognisable to be Kougyoku Ren looking into the camera, clearly held up by somebody else. ]

So when it starts recording, I should speak to it?

[ From behind the camera, a voice chuckles, sounding amused. ] Kou-chan, it’s already started.

[ The girl gasps and blushes, covering her mouth in surprise. ] I’m sorry, I didn’t... Oh, how do I begin? Um, h-hello... everyone. I mean, greetings! I mean...

[ A whisper from behind the camera: ] Introductions, Kou-chan, introductions~

Yes, you’re right. It’s not like I haven’t introduced myself before. [ She turns her head a few degrees away from the camera. ] I am Kougyoku Ren. I am… eighteen years old. I am from the Kou Empire, and I, I like fashion, fighting and… um... Anyway, I. I am looking for friends.

[ Again, from behind the camera: ] So, if you’d like to be her friend, please reply to this video!

[ Kougyoku immediately smiles and faces the camera after that line. It’s as if her personality did a complete 180. ] Did I do good, Tatara?

[ And, once more, the voice behind the camera chuckles as the feed shuts down: ] Very well done!

[ note; Tags will be coming separately from Kougyoku and Totsuka separately! ]

It's what I've heard.

[skilful]

And people of the same world can remember different things, right?

[ He's just -- making a guess right now. ]

[jailbreaks]

That one I know for a fact. Got a friend here who was telling me about things I don't remember happening.

[He snorts a bit, but ah.... yeah.... he's still confused about that.]

1/2

[skilful]

That sounds confusing.

[ But he can empathize -- Totsuka has an inkling that something's happened to him, only he hasn't been told exactly what. ]

[skilful]

And well, I've been told I'm quite unlucky but I think I'm pretty fortunate! Some of my friends came here when I did.

[jailbreaks]

Well, if you consider that fortunate, then good for you.

[Yuri, on the other hand, isn't terribly fond of it because it means they're in danger, but whatever.]

[skilful]

[ He chuckles, not minding that tone or those words; it's because his friends are here that he's certain that everything will work out.

It may have something to do with how he's known as the "weakest member". ]

You have a friend here too, don't you? They must feel lucky to have you here with them.

[ Because he's very certain now about the reliable type of person that Yuri is. ]

[jailbreaks]

Wouldn't know if they're lucky or not. However, they're capable of taking care of themselves.

[Not said in a way that he doesn't care, more or less stated as a fact. If something happened to him, at the very least Estelle and Flynn would have each other here in this place. That thought kind of makes him comfortable with the situation as much as he doesn't like it.]

[skilful]

Oh! More than one friend?

[jailbreaks]

Yeah. Got two here, unfortunately.
